STAR WARS Speeder Bike Chase Recreated with a Real Life Jetovator

Share:

While Star Wars fans on Earth may not have access to any type of repulsorlift speeder bike, it turns out that we may be able to get our hands on a pretty great stand-in (as long as you’re over a body of water). YouTuber Devin Super Tramp made one of the most inventive recreations ever of a particular type of hydro-powered flying water bike dubbed the “Jetovator” to live out the chase scene from Return of the Jedi.

The chase sequence, which comes via Sploid, features a nearly shot-for-shot recreation of the original sequence in Episode VI, as well as a few wonderful additional touches like Chewbacca with a pretty great gray mustache and Ewoks (that is, children in Ewok suits) who are both deadly and super cute… exactly like “real” Ewoks.

A few highlights from the video include Devin as Han Solo (he nails that Imperial Trooper flip), a track that sounds like something out of The Phantom Menace, some pretty intense blaster-saber dueling, and oh, did we mention little kids dressed like Ewoks?

If you’re wondering how Devin Super Tramp and his team pulled off the insane sequence, a behind-the-scenes look is available below. It’s worth the watch if you’re curious about how the Jetovators work, or if you really love cosplay outfits made out of duct tape.
